too much fluff, combat is more complicated while also being less interesting, it looks great and i wish i wasnt bored out of my mind during stagecoach sections, new systems like the way you unlock skills are cool as hell but damn does the combat feel like shit
I've never cum harder
Honestly i think i'm part of the minority but i prefer this one over the first one, the battle system feels so much better made, the characters and the rogue-lite aspect to me feels way more fun than the original, don't get me wrong, i still love the first DD for what it offered and how it's constructed, but i find myself installing DD1 just to uninstall it the next day and keep playing 2, and with it finally getting more updates regularly and soon getting a new game mode, i think i will stick with this one for a while.
My review might change in the future, but for the time being, i still prefer this one, even tho DD1's final boss is superior, the journey to the final boss is what puts me back from playing it again lol

i didnt like the first game much, so i thought i would try the sequel. it turns out this is barely a sequel to the first game; this is a boring and generic roguelite that you can find hundreds of on steam
The story about the worst road trip of all time.
A disclaimer for this game: If you are expecting a true continuation of Darkest Dungeon 1, you are going to be disappointed. Go play the Black Reliquary mod instead.
That being said, it is a totally different game from its previous installment which in my opinion, isn't totally a bad thing. There are some positive changes to combat such as debuffs still kind of being RNG, but they can be controlled more easily since they created a sort of "token" system for buffs and debuffs. I also like that you are able to create synergies with party members that like each other. The opposite also applies, in which you have party members that hate each other which can be run ending. The new roguelite format feels less punishing for losing characters than the first game (but that's what made DD1 fun...).
What I would describe this game in general is a more refined and streamlined Darkest Dungeon experience (As controversial as that may be). There's less micro managey mechanics and more of a focus on min-maxing your current run. I like this game as someone who's played over 400 hours on DD1. I think it's grossly overhated.

- visuellement magnifique
- belle variété des ennemies que l'on rencontre (bcp de redite du premier par contre)
-j'ai du mal avec le fonctionnement très chronophages du jeu qui te demande plusieurs heures pour faire une tentative qui peut au final n'avoir servie a rien si tu meurs...envie de retenter? tu repars pour au moins 2heures avant de pouvoir réessayer le boss et progresser. Surtout que le destin des runs se joue parfois trop a la rng pour mes nerfs.
